Tuesday Popular Science reported that Brazil is to build a massive solar farm that will float on the surface of a reservoir. As the entire solar energy industry is rapidly growing, a new wave of innovative floating solar farms has grown in popularity as well. The new far in Brazil will produce 350 megawatts of electricity, topping the current largest floating solar plant in the world. That plant is in Japan and has a capacity of 13.4 megawatts. The average output of a coal power plant in the United State is roughly 240 megawatts. “A single megawatt can power 164 homes in the United States,” reports Popular Science. That means the new floating solar farm in Brazil would be able to provide enough energy to power 57,400 average sized homes if it were located in the U.S.
